The Food Colour Chart

Are you guys eating your fruit & vegetables? Check out this chart to see how the colours of fruit and vegetables relate to each other and the benefits of them.

For example, tomatoes and strawberries are both red and coincidently have the same benefits…For example, nutrients such as lycopene ellagic acid that help reduce the risk of cancer.

Take the colour Orange for example – Oranges, carrots & pumpkins all contain beta-carotene, potassium, vitamin c and a lot more good stuff. They all help with the lowering of blood pressure, the risk of prostate cancer, cholesterol and helps promote healthy joints…Come to think of it, I don’t reckon it’s coincidence at all.

Over the next few weeks I will be covering nutrition and the benefits of foods in a lot more depth.

For now, stay away from processed foods and eat clean. They say if it comes in a box…Don’t eat it.
